IT IS THE final day of the national hunt season in the UK with Irish maestro Willie Mullins set to pick up the trainer’s championship this side of the Irish Sea. He has three entries in the feature Gold Cup Handicap Chase (Sandown, 3.45) with novice Nick Rockett probably the pick of them.

Last year’s winner Kitty’s Light will be better suited to the ground here than at Aintree when he finished an admirable fifth in the Grand National, but he had a particularly tough race two weeks ago and there are several bigger priced runners worth a second glance.

Rapper should enjoy the conditions and has run well at the Esher track before and merits consideration, and I fancy he will relish this out and out staying trip while going right handed is his domain. Certainly Red may improve on his seventh in the race 12 months ago, when a shuddering mistake at the second last ended any chance of victory, and a clear round will see him hit the first four at the very least. But the one I am going to side with at a big price has to be the Nigel Twiston Davies trained WEVEALLBEENCAUGHT.
